Sprague River Oregon Geomorphology, with assessment of return flow potential
The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) was developed by a diverse group of stakeholders,
Federal and State resource management agencies, Tribal representatives, and interest groups to provide
a comprehensive solution to ecological and water-supply issues in the Klamath Basin. The Off-Project
Water Program (OPWP), one component of the KBRA, has as one of its purposes to permanently provide
an additional 30,000 acre-feet of water per year on an average annual basis to Upper Klamath Lake through
“voluntary retirement of water rights or water uses or other means as agreed to by the Klamath Tribes, to
improve fisheries habitat and also provide for stability of irrigation water deliveries.” The geographic area
where the water rights could be retired encompasses approximately 1,900 square miles. The OPWP
area is defined as including the Sprague River drainage, the Sycan River drainage downstream of Sycan
Marsh, the Wood River drainage, and the Williamson River drainage from Kirk Reef at the southern end of
Klamath Marsh downstream to the confluence with the Sprague River. Extensive, broad, flat, poorly drained
uplands, valleys, and wetlands characterize much of the study area. Irrigation is almost entirely used for pasture.
To assist parties involved with decisionmaking and implementation of the OPWP, the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Klamath Tribes and other stakeholders, created five hydrological
information products. These products include GIS digital maps and datasets containing spatial information
on evapotranspiration, subirrigation indicators, water rights, subbasin streamflow statistics, and return-flow
indicators.
